Closing Bell is an incremental trading game set on Wall Street in 2004.
Buy trade tickets and reveal their candles one by one. Chain patterns like Hammer, Bull Run and Breakout to stack points and leverage, upgrade your desk, unlock bigger stocks, and hire staff to trade for you.
But watch out, because big money draws attention. As your income grows, so does Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Heat. Retire in time and wire your profits offshore to buy permanent perks for your next career. Push your luck too far, and the feds take half of your hard earned money!

This is an early demo. Your feedback shapes the full game. There’s a feedback button in the pause menu (Esc).

Controls:

  • Space / click chart: buy ticket, reveal candle
  • C: cold call
  • G: pattern guide
  • L: rolodex
  • 1–5: switch stock
  • Esc / P: pause and options

How does this work exactly? 97 x 126 x 0,1 = 1222,2 so why is it 140$? Is it the ove rlimit?

Hi, yes you’re right - that ticket went over PNNY’s payout limit. Above the limit, extra profit only counts partially, so $1,222 became about $140. 

I'm not proud of the system and the game doesn’t explain that well at all. But I'm currently working on the next update that reworks how payouts scale, so the math you see is the math you get.

Thanks for playing and I hope you'll like the new update!

After the update it's much better. But there are several problems: crooked books is now correctly 12%, but the upgrade still has 10 levels, so last few don't do anything. And after maxing out PNNY it says i need 50 upgrades to buy last coworker but there are only 46 upgrades. It probably still counts now non-existent limit upgrades

Thanks for testing it further and I'm happy the balancing is better now. 

I'll rework the crooked books so they display the percentage correctly and tweak the coworker upgrades. 

That's a really small change so I'll try and deliver it in few hours.
